Older Swaps & Packaging

We're supposed to head to a 4th of July Festival on post today but the chances of rain are 100 percent. The same thing happened last year too! I'm hoping a miracle happens. Anyways, I am posting some older mail and packaging on this cloudy day :)


OUTGOING - Typical mail days look like this batch. These are penpal letters and swaps :)
 
I love using deco tape and kawaii when decorating envelopes.

 
This envelope was decorate for spring :) All deco tape.
 
 
 
 
I found this beautiful envelope at Michael's. It has a french market style theme on it. This is a pen pal letter to my friend in Florida. I'm actually originally from the same area as her :)




I love this envelope however I did not create the body of this envelope as someone sent it to me. It's made out of a calendar. It's a 50/60's era vintage model of woman. I did however add the deco and labeling.

 
 
Kawaii Swapping - I protect and create these with file folders. I cut them down to the size of the swap. It's fun to decorate and sends everything safely in the mail! No bending or creasing.
 
 
 
 
Cello, Fabric, and Ribbon packaging for a kawaii swap
 
 
OUTGOING  - Bubble envies can be hard to decorate sometimes. This is older so I've got a lot better at it.
 
INCOMING MAIL
 
 
This beautiful package came all the way from Malaysia. She sent me some lovely things. I did not take a picture of everything inside. I believe she used scrapbook paper to wrap everything. The little green paper on top was an origami note. It was very sweet.
 
 
It's always a good day when your mailbox looks like this :)
 
 
My favorite incoming mail from Jess. She always sends me the best stuff and I do the same for her. I love this strawberry packaging. We actually both were able to score more of these online. They are hard to come by! (They come from Hong Kong)
 
 
 
A strawberry envelope I created out of scrapbook paper, ribbon, and of course washi tape.
 
 
My take on confetti tape. This looked extremely easy but it was a pain the bum. I will never make such a mess again :/
 
 

A cute little box I made with washi tape and ribbon.
 
 
Hopefully I can get this blog up to date. I plan on using it as current but would like to upload everything I can prior.
